Abstract

Obesity is a growing worldwide epidemic and an emerging healthcare problem affecting millions of people in the United States. Currently, mortality is less than 1%, and morbidity is under 10%. One significant long-term concern is weight regain. In order to manage weight regain, a multifactorial approach is critical. Options for treatment include behavioral modifications, pharmacological intervention, endoscopic revision, and surgical operations offer additional weight loss and amelioration of comorbidities.
